Rescue Robot

Rescue robot capable of moving in different terrains, developed based on the Robocup 2022 guidelines, implementing machine design, control algorithms and artificial vision.

Problem of flat belt tensioners in traction systems for a robotics competition in this case a Rescue Robot to participated in the “RoboCup” the biggest robotics competition in the world. The real challenge is to find a solution to a system that you cannot modify because this would represent great losses of money. So, designed a variable tensioner system for flat belts, ideal for traction and low cost taking into considerations we are using aluminum sheets and common mechanical components.

-Some of the characteristics of the tensors are:
  • Maintain the 180 ° contact angle with our pulleys, to take advantage of all the traction that our motors offer us
  • Height adjustable according to need
  • Top quality machine elements from the Mc Master Catalog
  • Adaptable to irregular surfaces and environments. Due to a compression spring system
  • No need to manually adjust
  • Easy installation process (DFMA)
  • Low Cost $50 USD
